Ingredients
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup Creamy peanut butter
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.75 cup Brown sugar, packed
- 2 Large eggs
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Milk chocolate chips
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x9-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, melt the butter in the microwave or on the stovetop. Allow it to cool slightly.
Step 3
Add the peanut butter to the melted butter and whisk until smooth and well combined.
Step 4
Mix in the granulated sugar and brown sugar until fully incorporated.
Step 5
Beat in the eggs, one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract, until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Step 6
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
Step 7
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until no streaks of flour remain. Be careful not to overmix.
Step 8
Fold in the chocolate chips gently to evenly distribute them throughout the dough.
Step 9
Transfer the cookie dough to the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly with a spatula or the back of a spoon.
Step 10
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with just a few moist crumbs.
Step 11
Allow the cookie bars to cool completely in the pan before slicing into squares or rectangles. Serve and enjoy!
